I'm gonna get out here near Troy and see if I can't rattle up a whitey this week... or I may just go slutbustin and kill a doe! lol

I killed a nice 3 point just outside Harvard, ID yesterday morning.  Not a big neck, but his glands stunk to high heavens and were stained down to his hooves.  He wasn't dogging does, but was about 50 yards apart.  I think they're just keeping tabs on them for now, until some start going into estrus. 

All the sets of tracks we're seeing in the snow have bucks with them.

It's hard to say for me. The area I was in (117) there seemed to be a general lack of deer period. I saw 4 total scrapes in the fresh snow that fell Friday. I do know of one less cougar there though. I'll be back for archery so hopefully things will change.

Hunted all this past week.  I saw a couple scrapes visited by does but largely only receiving upkeep from the bucks.  Bucks are trailing the does.  Rattling only resulted in bucks getting a bit spooked and trying to wind me. 
Rub lines are established and new scrapes were popping up earlier this week.
